Da Vinci Code

[ALVAREZ6]

Has anyone seen it?



opinion?

[1Parker1]

Did it even come out yet?

[Melmart1]

I thought it was coming out like next week? I could be wrong. But the book was great, so they better not ruin it.

Angels and Demons was better. Seriously - if you haven't read it, you really need to.

[ALVAREZ6]

, my bad, my friend told me it came out today....bas .

[Melmart1]

I just started "Angels and Demons" this week.

Agreed. The book was awesome. Usually, movies don't ever live up to the hype though.

[midgetonadonkey]

I couldn't get into that book. I tried but all the french references really turned me off to the whole thing.

[ALVAREZ6]

well if you want a good movie version of a great book, it's not a surprise that it doesn't live up to par. The movies would be so damn long unless every single scene of the movie was really brief.

[Jekka]

Melmart - I really did think that Angels and Demons was better. I don't think The Da Vinci Code would have been as controversial (which is why it's more popular) if people knew more about the origins of Christianity - the Gnostics really were interesting, but Angels and Demons really is the better book.

No, it doesn't have to have every scene from the book. But they can't leave out the best parts or make other up for 'dramatic' purposes. Hollyweird is notorious for doing that.

Yeah, I should have guessed that with you.

[ALVAREZ6]

that's not very nice...

[Pistons < Spurs]

Da Vinci Code was one of the best books I've ever read. I've been waiting for the movie for a long time, but I am afraid that they will it up. I'm still debating whether or not to watch it.


I agree w/ Jekka on Angels and Demons. It amazes me that how little fanfare there is for it. Extremely underated.

[1Parker1]

I have no idea I was just talking out of my ass

Shocker.

[MannyIsGod]

Angels and Demons would have made the better movie. I'll still go see the Da Vinci Code.

I'm gonna have to go with mookie on this one and say that dan brown is too commercial.

[charmie21]

i read the book but i'm afraid i'm not gonna be able to watch it on the cinema because from what i heard, it's gonna be rated R so i'm not yet allowed..!

[2Blonde]

I'm in the middle of reading the book right now and so far is fascinating.

Awwww, Fake ID?? Or just dress up in "big people clothes"

I don't know what it is but, Historical Conjecture

Disagree. Roll back all the marketing and morning show buzz, the top-dollar movie production budget, Catholic mags, and the internet game, Brown sat down and wrote a book. He wrote a ing book! How can it be his fault if people like The Da Vinci Code? Or that it's so popular it's turned into a Tom Hanks movie?

There's no faking writing a book like Milli Vanilli's on stage pleading about not forgetting their number. The only thing you can blame Brown for is an ad shedding light on the Vatican, and they probably need some attention right now.

I like that scene where Lara Croft shoots Tom Hanks with double taps and steals that code thing to turn those globes spinning so evil can come up to rule the world. Then Ozzy bites off bat head and they put bees on Henry Winkler.

Yeah, that scene is good, but only second best after the one where Jack Bauer and Chuck Norris together steal the code from Iran and they kill 40,000 enemy soldiers in the process.
